This is one of my favorite recipes. I have made this beer a half dozen times and have been happy with it each time. For those of you who don’t know about about Saisons, here is a brief description. A Saison is a Farmhouse Ale which was originally brewed for drinking by European farmers and their worker during the late summer harvests. It originally was a lower alcohol beer, but these days that is not always true.

This is now one of my favorite loops. I have done it twice and look forward to adding some variations to it. It is perfect for a gravel bike or a mountain bike. There is a very steep climb up to the top of the ridge so an easy gear makes that more enjoyable. You do spend a tiny bit of time on the road but they are lightly traveled roads. Coleman Valley Road is a good example, narrow, but lightly traveled. Here is a link to my Garmin Data. Willow Creek Loop. I do take a sharp right hand turn right before the bottom of Old Barn Trail. It is a nice, bumpy trail that drops you off lower down Willow Creek Road.
